Abstract: This paper investigates the Gaussian quasi-likelihood estimation of an exponentially ergodic multidimensional Markov process, which is expressed as a solution to a L'{e}vy driven stochastic differential equation whose coefficients are known except for the finite-dimensional parameters to be estimated, where the diffusion coefficient may be degenerate or even null. We suppose that the process is discretely observed under the rapidly increasing experimental design with step size hn. By means of the polynomial-type large deviation inequality, convergence of the corresponding statistical random fields is derived in a mighty mode, which especially leads to the asymptotic normality at rate sqrtnhn for all the target parameters, and also to the convergence of their moments. As our Gaussian quasi-likelihood solely looks at the local-mean and local-covariance structures, efficiency loss would be large in some instances. Nevertheless, it has the practically important advantages: first, the computation of estimates does not require any fine tuning, and hence it is straightforward; second, the estimation procedure can be adopted without full specification of the L'{e}vy measure.
